…Hannah Jones, and *award winning* presentations from @fgyapong.bsky.social and @melissalawson.bsky.social ! Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered their time to put this together including @dannagifford.bsky.social @mbottery.bsky.social & Will Smith in the Manchester hub #MEEHubs26 [2/2]

Certificates to celebrate Francis’s poster award and Mel’s oral presentation awards!

Picture of Mel in action explaining how our culture isolated collection from cystic fibrosis is helping her unravel pathogen-microbe dynamics using a Drosophila model.

Francis with his poster showcasing his work on culture enrichment of the stickleback fish skin microbiome.
